Details and questions
As mentioned above I will retake my DAT in September. I strongly believe I can improve my scores to a minimum of a 20 AA. On my practice test I was scoring 26 on O chem and 24 on bio,my low test scores were due to my lack of sleep the night before the DAT. I was completely out of it while taking the test and evidently lacked any comprehension during the test. My concern is what are my chances of being accepted during this cycle?
I'm also seeking advice on which of the 6 L.O.E I should include in my application?
My strongest letters are (1,2,5,6) although my dentist letter is also strong just not as strong. I'm contemplating whether to include the dentist or surgeon letter (btw the surgeon is my brother-in-law). I plan on sending the remaining two by mail to all the dental schools I apply to.
I will not hold off until the next cycle, I have high but realistic hopes. Lastly, what schools should I apply to and any further advice on how I can improve my chances whether its contacting the schools, informing the schools of the reason behind my low test scores, etc.....
Thanks
